The hatch's are sorta like this that bottom hatch would never be open except to load up the tank...

The other hatch's are usually interior color, but you will drive a lot with hatch's open so all the vehicles in my old unit those were painted outdoor colors and not interior colors. Nothing worse than a blob of white when you wanna stay hidden lol. I would be surprised if they did not do that in WW2... I be damn if I'm driving around with hatch's open and white ha.

That took a lot of paint! Feel like I been painting all day even with airbrush. That took a good amount of effort.

Yeah I have two Shermans to do eventually. I will get there. I am looking forward getting  to those. I'm sort of on this WW2 type kick I guess right now.
